2.1.4 Updating the BIOS
The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) can be updated using the
AwardBIOS Flash Utility. Follow these instructions to update the BIOS using
this utility.
1. Download the latest BIOS file from the ASUS web site. Rename the file
to M2N-VMDH.BIN and save it to a floppy disk, CD ROM or a USB flash
disk in FAT 16/12 format.
Save only the updated BIOS file in the floppy disk to avoid loading the
wrong BIOS file.
2. Copy the AwardBIOS Flash Utility (awdflash.exe) from the Software
folder of the support CD to the floppy disk, CD ROM or a USB flash
disk with the latest BIOS file.
3. Boot the system in DOS mode using the bootable floppy disk, CD ROM
or a USB flash disk you created earlier.
